These guys. I don’t mind telling you it was a thrill when Indianapolis doomers Apostle of Solitude were announced as having signed to Cruz del Sur to release their third album, Of Woe and Wounds, this fall. Their second outing, 2010’s Last Sunrise (review here), didn’t get the attention it deserved, but the handful of songs they’ve made public since have shown much promise, and as the first Apostle of Solitude full-length to feature guitarist/vocalist Steve Janiak (also Devil to Pay) in harmony with guitarist/vocalist Chuck Brown — the band is completed by bassist Dan Davidson and drummer Corey Webb — this is definitely going to make for a doomly autumn.

QUOTES:"AoS is one of the most under sung bands in the doom scene. Tight heavy rhythms with fluid leadwork and emotive vocals. One of the bands you SHOULD be hearing about."
-Karl Simon / The Gates of Slumber

"If the new demo is any indication this next AOS album will be the best yet. I was floored by it. I believe I said "Holyyyyy Fuck" at least 100 times during our listening session on the return from Wisconsin. So heavy. Great songs."
-Butch Balich / Argus / ex-Penance

"Apostle of Solitude is the real deal. Their music is stripped of all pretentiousness. They eschew the occult and storybook trappings heaped and marketed upon the heavy music listening masses for the real life, day to day human struggle. What the listener gets is 100% unflinchingly honest, unexpurgated, from the heart and in your face Doom Metal. And they get it LOUD. I guarantee Apostle of Solitude music makes anything Satan could possibly come up with pale in comparison."
